San Antonio, Texas needs to embrace Microsoft free certification program

It doesn’t matter that our state continues to attract a lot of folks from states like Kentucky and Illinois because of warm weather and job opportunities. While a program like the Microsoft one will help the underemployed in the “Blue Grass State” and the “Land of Lincoln”, we Texicans need to stay competitive with technology training.

So, Governor Perry and the rest of you campaigning for his job, here’s a chance to help our state stay competitive as a place that will attract future high tech firms.

And, here in San Antonio, here’s a good chance to also look at ways to embrace ways to help the nearly 40-percent of our high school students stay in school by giving them alternatives to a job as a Sonic carhop or a long stint in prison.
